Tax Reform Summary • Beneficial to customers • No equity issuances required • No change to 2018 guidance, long-term growth rate or capital plan • Maintaining FFO-to-debt in the range of 16 to 18 percent • Estimated to be a partial cash taxpayer in 2018, full cash taxpayer in 2019 State Tax Treatment • On April 26, the PSCW determined (for 2018 and 2019): • 80% of the tax benefit would offset regulatory asset balances, Wisconsin and 20% be refunded in the form of a bill credit for electric customers. • 100% returned to customers through bill credits for natural gas customers. • No impact on net income • On April 19, the ICC approved the proposed bill rider that will return the federal tax Illinois savings to customers, partially offset by an increase in state taxes. • MPSC issued an order on Feb. 22, requiring each Michigan utility to make multiple Michigan filings addressing estimated rate impacts. • First filing to comply with that order was submitted on March 29. • The impact of tax reform has been factored into the currently pending rate case. Minnesota • Interim rates have been adjusted to reflect the reduction in the federal tax rate. 6
